Sleek as a speedboat, this New York City kitchen designed by Anik Pearson is intricately detailed with gleaming wood and maritime hardware. The wall to the right of the cooktop was angled to match the doorway – the kitchen is shaped like a boat, with the cooktop at the prow. A crown ceiling painted white, with Harbor lights from Urban Archaeology, casts a glow over the island.

The Manhattan kitchen is small, but the owner has no trouble making braised short ribs for eight in it. Cabinets are lacquered in Bamboo Leaf by Fine Paints of Europe, as was the roller shade by Manhattan Shade & Glass. Even the Sub-Zero refrigerator is painted green. "I thought, 'Why replace this with a paneled kitchen?' I knew it would paint beautifully—and that a strong brush of color would make it exciting," designer Miles Redd says.
